You probably didn’t like the valedictorian of your class very much. If you even remember his or her name. You probably assumed everything would come easy for them and that school was just something they HAD to do. Well, did you know that valedictorians rarely become millionaires?
There are probably a ton of things about success that you think you know but you’re dead wrong about. That’s the idea behind Barking Up the Wrong Tree.
Much of the advice we’ve been told about achievement is logical, earnest…and downright wrong. In Barking Up the Wrong Tree, Eric Barker reveals the extraordinary science behind what actually determines success and most importantly, how anyone can achieve it.
By looking at what separates the extremely successful from the rest of us, we learn what we can do to be more like them—and find out in some cases why it’s good that we aren’t. Barking Up the Wrong Tree draws on startling statistics and surprising anecdotes to help you understand what works and what doesn’t so you can stop guessing at success and start living the life you want.
